  • Kayo Dot est un groupe de musique avant-gardiste américain, originaire de Boston, dans le Massachusetts. Il est formé en 2003 par Toby Driver, accompagné de plusieurs anciens membres de maudlin of the Well. La musique de Kayo Dot est un mélange de nombreux genres musicaux, allant du jazz au metal extrême en passant par la musique de chambre et le rock progressif. Le groupe a sorti en 2003 son premier album, Choirs of the Eye, sur le label de John Zorn, Tzadik Records. Le label décrit cet album de la manière suivante : « Kayo Dot intègre efficacement les éléments de composition classique moderne aux nappes de guitare et voix plus communément présentes dans le rock et le metal. Avec une partition stricte bien que malléable dans son exécution, Kayo Dot emploie une large gamme d’instruments pour faire naître une convergence entre violence et sérénité ». Le public metal underground reçoit chaleureusement les premières sorties du groupe, les deux premiers albums en particulier, Choirs of The Eye et Dowsing Anemone with Copper Tongue, étant considérés comme des références dans la scène metal progressif. Les changements constants d'instrumentation et de personnel au sein du groupe ont amené la musique de Kayo Dot à prendre de nombreuses formes au fil des années. Le groupe s'est retrouvé sur bon nombre de labels avant de sortir ses albums par lui-même grâce au financement participatif (Kickstarter et pré-commandes) et ainsi être libre de toute contrainte d'un label. En 2016, Kayo Dot compte huit albums studio, un EP et un split : Choirs of the Eye en 2003, Dowsing Anemone with Copper Tongue ainsi que son split avec Bloody Panda en 2006, Blue Lambency Downward, Coyote en 2010, un EP intitulé Stained Glass en 2011, Gamma Knife en 2012, le double-album Hubardo en 2013 et Coffins on Io en 2014. Le dernier album en date du groupe, Plastic House on Base of Sky, est sorti en juin 2016 via The Flenser. (fr)
  • I Kayo Dot sono una band di avant-garde rock fondata nel 2003 da . Hanno pubblicato il loro primo album nello stesso anno sulla label di John Zorn, la Tzadik. La musica dei Kayo Dot è a cavallo fra diversi generi, quali metal, post-rock, progressive rock, jazz, avant-garde, musica classica e musica da camera. Le loro canzoni presentano strutture e composizioni complesse (realizzate tutte dal cantante e frontman Toby Driver. Sono molto più lunghe delle tipiche canzoni rock; spesso durano dagli 8 ai 15 minuti. I Kayo Dot integrano potentemente elementi di composizione avanguardista, ma con chitarre e voci di stile più simile a generi come rock e metal. Con un'impostazione severa nella forma ma malleabile nell'esecuzione, i Kayo Dot usano una vasta gamma di strumentazione per creare una convergenza pressoché spirituale di caos e calma, violenza e delicatezza.
